Born to fly - migratory strategies and stopover ecology in the European Wadden Sea of a long-distance migrant, the Bar-tailed Godwit (Limosa lapponica)
… Afro-Siberian population of Bar-tailed Godwits stopover on their migration between wintering and breeding areas. Birds of the European population stayed during spring stopover for 30-40 days in the study area. Birds were extremely site faithful to their spring stopover site showing an annual …

Understanding the spring migration ecology of Sora and Virginia Rail in central Illinois: a study utiilizing automated telemetry
… about the spring migratory connectivity and stopover ecology of Sora and Virginia Rail is lacking. Much of the wetland habitat required by these secretive marsh birds has been lost across the Midwest over the last 200 years due to agriculture and urban development. Stopover sites are critical …

Migratory Stopover of Songbirds in the Western Lake Erie Basin
Songbirds use multiple stopover locations to rest and refuel for subsequent flights while migrating between breeding and non-breeding areas. Selection of high quality stopover habitat may allow migrants to minimize time and energy spent in migration and maximize fitness. Migrants should therefore …
